Ask A Question

[characterdriven]

I'm having a hard time getting the button to display. Right now it just says ASK_A_QUESTION where button should be. I've tried uploading the button to various folders other than the one that was in hierarchical folders on unzipping files, but none have worked. Any suggestions?

This zip file assumes your template name is "custom". If you are using another template name, then all directories named "custom" should be renamed "your_template."

I did that when I first unzipped files. I'm wondering if some of the code is pointing to 'custom' rather than my template name, but can't find it. No other reason for the button not to work.

I recall something in the mod's instructions that said you had to place some code
to use buttons rather than text. Did you make that change?

Took a look at all the instructions and I noticed this time that there was a line missing from the 'readme' file so did some research and added the code that was needed. Now I'm getting two 'ask a question about this product' links without hyphens...and without the image showing up. I obvious added another line of code while going through the 'readme' again methodically, yet overzealously. That I can find and resolve easily enough, but I am still baffled about the image not showing up.

You followed these instructions:

Assuming your template name is "custom":

a) copy the button image into includes/templates/custom/buttons/english
(create this directory if it doesn't exist).

b) create includes/languages/english/custom/button_names.php if you have not
already done so,
from includes/languages/english/button_names.php

Add the lines
define('BUTTON_IMAGE_ASK_A_QUESTION','button_ask_question.gif');
define('BUTTON_ASK_A_QUESTION_ALT', 'Ask a question');

to this file.

Then, in tpl_product_info_display.php, your code would be:

<div id="askQuestion" class="biggerText">
<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id='
. $_GET['products_id']) . '">' .
zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_ASK_A_QUESTION, BUTTON_ASK_A_QUESTION_ALT) .
'</a>'; ?></div>
<br />
<br class="clearBoth" />


AND, you deleted the code for "text": ask a question?
